    1865: 5 c. yellow-orange, diagonal half used as 2½ c. on hand-written Money Order for transfer of 2 pesos 80 centavos from Buga to Cartago, neatly cancelled by 'Buga' in manuscript ink. Clearly dated at top 'Enero 18 de 1867' and receipted at base. One or two tears at the left of the document where it has been ripped from the archive files which were sewn into folders. An extremely rare usage - the sole recorded example of the 1865 5 centavos bisected. A rarity of the classic period of Colombia.
